    Great Discreet Safety Device!

    This is a great safety device solution I have been looking for for years. I am a young real estate professional and no longer feel uneasy going to my office late at night or on real estate showings. This is also very helpful for taking walks or going out. I no longer feel as limited in my solo travel either. The walk with me feature is my favorite part of this app. You can easily call the Katana alarm team through the app and they will talk with you while you feel unsafe. Even if you just feel uncomfortable in a dark area on your walk you can use this feature. I also like the wallet on the back of the phone - it's extremely convenient as I hate carrying purses. Since it is a wallet I feel like that hides the fact that it's also an alarm which is helpful.

    A Must Have For Any College Student!

    I would recommend this product to just about anybody. As a father of three daughters, I sleep better knowing they are armed with this technology. The Safety Wallet is easy to install, simple to use and attaches to a cell phone so it's always be nearby. With a simple pull of a trigger or push of a button help is on the way. I am not sure where my training went wrong but all of our daughter’s are navigational challenged. Which means providing their location to emergency personal in a critical situation is unlikely .. the KATANA Safety Wallet does that for them (Think Alarm Meets UBER Meets OnStar) When activated the Safety Wallet has a loud alarm, contacts an emergency response team that identifies the location, dispatches help to the exact location and notifies me (and other family members) of their situation and location. I purchased one for my oldest daughter several months ago. She LOVES the Walk with Me feature so I recently purchased Safety Wallets for my other two daughters.

    I’m a gig worker and spend a lot of time alone and with strangers. I’ve been looking for something small and discreet for personal safety, and this is the perfect solution. Sits on my phone as a wallet but has an alarm and alerts help if needed. Love it.

    I live in a big city, and I love the KATANA Safety wallet because it provides me with an added peace of mind. I usually take early am runs when it's really quiet out, and it just makes me feel safer to know that I can use the loud alarm and the response center is there if I need it. And it's on my phone so I never have to think about it when I head out the door. Also it was super easy to set up.

      Hi Sam. We're sorry to hear that. Your Best Buy KATANA Safety Wallet purchase includes 6 months free (a $90 value) on our app, so you won't actually be billed until the 7th month. We hope that helps! katanasafety

    This wallet that attaches to your cellphone was a terrible purchase! Expensive, difficult to control (alarm), inconvenient (only holds 3 cards)…just not a good purchase. Luckily, Best Buy allowed me to return it and exchange it for something much simpler!

    Peace of mind, no matter where or when...

    I bought one of these for my wife's phone as I wanted her to have an "immediate lifeline" available 24/7 if for any reason she couldn't get in touch with me. She travels a lot for work and this is great peace of mind for both her and myself. My wife is definitely a "non-techie" and she found this extremely easy to use and navigate. The app is super easy and intuitive. I did the install for her and have to admit that I thought I was going to jump through a lot more hoops that I did. It was a breeze. One thing that really impressed me was that when I did a "test" alert to verify that the device was working I received a call from the Katana response center in seconds. I was really impressed and that gave me a ton of security knowing that if she ever needed it, they would be there for her. I ended up buying one for myself and my 11-year-old daughter. It is just such a no-brainer in today's age where the phone is our constant companion.

    A must have for first time drivers

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the KATANA Safety Wallet as a gift for my niece who has recently gotten her drivers license. The wallet has some really cool tech features- you can bypass the lock screen by pulling the alarm- and it alerts a 24/7 response center that you need help. I think during an emergency it would be super hard to remember a password, and fumble with your phone, but with this you don't have to. They know you location (911 doesn't) and can send help. Or they can alert your family you need help, and your location. I think it makes everyone feel better and connected, and she likes it bc you can pair with a grip. The set up was simple, too.

    The Safety wallet is such a great invention, I'm so happy I bought it! I go for runs a lot and having this device on the back of my phone makes me feel a lot better. I love that it can by pass your lock screen and contact a 24/7 response team that can send help! The circle of safety is amazing for keeping my family informed too. I wish I had this in college! I definitely recommend this for college students & women! You never know in today's world and it's just nice to have some comfort while going about you daily lives :)
